Yakka Dee! launches on CBeebies

We're delighted to announce the launch of our latest show on the UK's premiere channel for pre-school children, CBeebies. Yakka Dee! is a 5-minute show created by Lotte Elwell, Katie Simmons, and Steve Smith. Each episode we learn about a new word - be it banana, duck or dog - and go on a fun visual adventure exploring the iterations of that word in everyday life. A little animated character, Dee, then helps live-action children to say the word for the first time, thereby opening up their vocabulary and growing their speech confidence. Animated by Mighty, with animation direction from Chris Allen, the show was an instant hit with CBeebies youngest audience. Watch full episodes here.
